A workaround for installing both 32-bit and 64-bit packages on CentOS 5 using Yum

When using the Yum Online installation package on CentOS, sometimes 32-bit and 64-bit packages are installed at the same time. It also updates the two copies at the time of update.

In fact, let Yum install only 64-bit packages, just add a exclude option in/etc/yum.conf:

[Main]cachedir=/var/cache/yumkeepcache=0Plugins=1... Exclude=*.i?  the

The Exclude option supports regular expressions, and *.i?86 can be used to filter out 32bit packets such as i386,i686.

If you want to remove a 32bit package that has already been installed, execute the following command:

Yum remove \*.i\?  the

If you want to install a 32-bit package on a 64-bit operating system, you can comment this sentence exclude again/etc/yum.conf
